[@KristenMcGowan]

Happy Sunday everyone!!! :) I really hope this video is helpful for anyone that is looking for more high end looking furniture & decor but at an affordable price! These are my top 10 suggestions of pieces you should consider! Which one was your favorite?!

[@emilyrose2655]

I want to know what happened to christain?

[@KristenMcGowan]

Emily Rose Lol nothing happened to him! He’s in California and I’m in Canada! Got stuck across the boarder from each other once they shut down the boarder due to everything happening! 😭 we will be together soon hopefully!

[@_Deckany]

Girl I work at IKEA and I never get tired of talking about the products there! So your videos are always so fun for me! And sometimes you discover new items I have yet to see! Haha! Love you! ❤️

[@kiki29073]

@@_Deckany Did you get a discount on purchases? I know some places have employee discounts.

[@ktwel690]

I am redoing my bedroom and I am getting the Lommarp Desk. (I think that is how you spell it not sure tho.) I am debating between the black or the white. They are both great colors. I think what drew me to it was the hardware.

Ok, so we‘re not gonna comment on the fact that her hair has such a gorgeous color and shine. You guys are talking about Ikea, but all I wanna know is her beauty routine 😻

M with u TD, I mean look at her hair, her skin 🔥

[@sonja7312]

So funny, every video I watch I want to ask her about her skincare and hair routine!!

[@crystalcruz3255]

Same! Haha I was drawn to the shine of her hair and the dewy fresh face as well. However, I am about to revamp my place, and everything that was touched on in this video, was very inspiring. I now have lots of good ideas to start on! Thanks girl you really know your stuff!!

[@sherryidibo2304]

Who doesn't like IKEA...it's got the most adorable stuff for home that absolutely affordable...thanks for Sharing these idea ..you are awosome.

[@javeriakaleem4977]

I love ikea!!! But I don’t like dealing with snarky comments from family that think IKEA is low end. “Oh is this IKEA too?”. Yes it is!!!! Lol

[@howmoon67]

Glad you mentioned mixing Ikea products with your higher end furniture. Balance is key.

[@7sevendaysara]

To prove that I always agree with you: my rug in the bedroom is exactly the jute one that you showed and I am looking for a table now and my ikea choice was exactly the one that you showed!!! Thanx for the tips Sara Nena DIY

[@Digitalmama2happiness]

I cannot stop watching this video. This is giving me LIFE! I'm so inspired every time I watch this. I need more of this in my life. Thank you Kristen! 🤲🏻💜

I have a PAX wardrobe in every single room of my apartment (except kitchen and bathroom). I love that I managed to create a built in book shelves out of it in my living room that have beautiful lighting and Tyssedal glass doors look absolutely stunning! Also, I have to look for that black cutlery - it’s gorgeous!

[@jamesbunch9964]

Black Cutlery and the Oval Mirror. Really like the look of many items shown. Thanks!

[@emmamomma9271]

Just upgraded to the black cutlery and I’m so happy I did it’s beautiful 🤩

[@courtneyrice9202]

FÄRLÖV would be perfect for my spare room. The room is small, and used for some storage. The fact this is a couch that doubles as a bed would be perfect for a multi-functional room. Thanks !

[@makeuprehab9943]

I'm definitely getting the jute rug from there. I was never a fan of Ikea until I started watching your videos and I've been missing out on a lot. Thanks for always making inspirational and helpful videos...Love your hair and skin

[@KristenMcGowan]

Of course!! I know a lot of people think IKEA can’t be nice but they are so wrong!🙌🏼 thank you so much❤️❤️

[@lisamanetta9567]

I have two of the jute rugs in my lake house...they’re gorgeous!

[@alohaleslie9407]

Aloha Kristen! IKEA saved my buns. LOL When the economy tanked, years ago I was forced to sell my home and business, lost a lot of money...sad story short...I moved in with daughter and son-in-law making my new home in their tiny mother-in-law. To furnish it, I shopped IKEA and found some fabulous items at a price I could afford, along with some thrift store shopping. I am ready now to let go of my L-shape couch and buy that very tempting hide-a-bed you showed us. Perfect. And another great price. Thanks so much. :)

[@thegraybarnsoapsandcandles4721]

We have the pax closet system an we love it! The drawers are so spacious and can fit a lot, it is very nice.. Also bought my daughter that black cutlery and she loves it, Nice video with lots of ideas

[@mauriceestelle4619]

Ikea is still expensive for me 😭😭

[@mandilynncarrillo2279]

I agree they put their prices up almost better to look on OfferUp

[@priscilaassis5704]

1k for ugly couches is definitely a lot

[@onepotmakesplenty]

Secondhand 👍

[@howmoon67]

Very impressed with the Lommarp cabinets. Good to see they actually have shapes and curves to one of their furniture line.

[@Ria_n_Brian_93]

Okay, wait a minute! I just had to pause at the beginning... Oh my gosh, I love that dining room table❣️🥰 And I see a sale tag on it too! 😮👍🏼🏃🏻‍♀️

[@olivia8626]

I recently bought the "möckelby" table and the dark green cabinet 😅 and who doesn't have the pax system? It's so easy and versatile. LOVE IKEA.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Love this and I just found the new sofas they look like pottery barn for less and washable 🙌

[@grace4976]

They are washable? I’m sold. Thank you 😊

[@sandragallagher2408]

This video was so informative! Beautiful pieces !!!

[@sabeenshahjehan8522]

We installed the pax system in our bedroom Just one entire wall with the frosted glass doors and I kid you not No one even suspected they r IKEA and thought we had built ins but I absolutely love telling them they intact are IKEA!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Thank you!🙊💛 my sister did my hair for me!!

[@FiaGarciaDIY]

*Yas girl!* This week was IKEA based for me as well! Great minds think alike! 😉 Can’t wait to see what genius ideas you’ve come up with this time! 🧡

[@joanwalford1959]

I love the mirror and the frames

[@jaeespo5413]

Thank you- I love the way you explain and show products.😊

[@oolum]

The best place for photo frames, already matted, is a thrift store. You will find some beautiful expensive gems that were donated because the wealthy owner got something new. It is the same with all furniture. Some thrift stores, in predominantly wealthy neighborhoods, have some pretty nice things in them. Just keep checking back once a week, on the day that they switch up with new arrivals. Sorry, to rain on Kristen's infomercial, Ikea is okay too, but I saw pretty much the same dining table at a thrift store near me for $200. I still couldn't afford it, but likely many others could. I would love a sofa with a bench seat cushion like that though, and have never seen one in a thrift store yet.

[@marjolein1872]

I love this green colour on you. Looks good; very lovely! Excited for this video and the inspiration I always get from it. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@lorettariddles2094]

I totally agree, the mirrors are beautiful!! 😃😃

[@allthingsmeganrohr7336]

If you aren’t being sponsored by IKEA you should be! I’m in the process of moving and I love the items you’re showing and can’t wait to add them to my new home!

[@nicolemaria913]

We completely redid our kitchen ourselves with IKEA cabinets and get so many compliments!

[@joycevrooland5579]

I love going to ikea it so much fun to see what you can do to a room and it not expensive ❤❤

[@bobbietrosper2195]

I love your Ikea videos. I don't have one even remotely close, so I really enjoy and appreciate your tips. It's a completely different perspective than looking at products on their website. Plus I trust your judgement. ❤

[@nikkibrandycole]

You can always order online and have it shipped to you! 😉

[@doz1886]

@@nikkibrandycole I think she meant it like she wants to order but is uncertain about how that stuff actually looks so these vids give her a clearer perspective on them unlike the pictures on the website.

[@fb9001]

Absolutely the mirror🥰

[@briggettemihm2319]

I will buy the black and glass shelves and the oblong mirror! I would use the shelves as a room divider making my livingroom more private from the entryway without feeling claustrophobic!

[@elisenolte9654]

I really love that oval mirror! I think it would look absolutely beautiful with some greenery around it.

[@shirleyfarmer7532]

I loved the Lommark chest cabinet and the mirrors.

You always give me ideas on decorating my room and house more 😍 I love the rug and definitely gonna get that for my room 👍🏼

[@Digitalmama2happiness]

This video is one of my faves you've ever done! It inspired me sooo much! Please please share the other ten! 🙏🏼 💜

[@VictoriaJoly]

Thanks Kristen this gave me loads of ideas! Can't wait to change up our living room, our sofa it's just so awful, we've had it for 6 years and the amount of stuff that has been spilled on it is just unbelievable... ❤️

[@daCubanaqt]

Thank you for the video! I love Ikea, and Ribba comes up a lot in your videos. I’ve been shopping at Ikea for a LONG time. Ribba frames do not last. The closure tabs break easily and the frames fall apart. You end up paying more in the long run!!

[@grismiranda8092]

Me encantó su cabello! 😍 y me encanta este tipo de videos..pq dan ideas e inspiran a seguir teniendo nuestra casa bella!

[@JennyAnya]

Great video as usual @Kristen. Always some thing new. I dont know if it just me, but i am not sure of the jute rug and high end though....Feel they often age.

[@denises9426]

The mirrors were my favorite. Going to purchase an oval one for my entryway.

Great video. I love everything so hard to pick. The sofas, the vintage looking cabinets, the black cutlery and the black framed oval mirror. I love IKEA as well.

[@WinWin26306]

Simple and high end looking is ideal

[@Dyshenforever]

Hi! Thank u soo much for ur videos! Clearly even as young as u are, u have a very good aesthetic that is not only beautiful and classy but is affordable to most of us. Luveet!!

[@messrsandersonco5985]

I think that dining table looked 100% IKEA. I had a solid table made from antique wood. It's a refectory type concept in a simple Ming style. I chose benches so that I can seat 14 for dinner parties and Christmas. I use the end benches which seat 2 people at each end of the table as stand alone benches elsewhere in my home. Is a way of connecting my home in style.

[@robythecelt]

Thanks Kristen, your taste is exquisite!

[@josefineoijer]

I've got the pax wardrobes, love them! Love ikea!

[@merrywalsh2809]

Josefine Öijer I had them before too, with the frosted glass doors. They look so high end. So many options. Better than California Closets, etc,

[@merrywalsh2809]

Here in Hawaii, furniture is very expensive due to an American shipping monopoly. I ordered two Farlov loveseats for $750 dollars each, plus $900 each just to get them here. More than the cost to make them! So each loveseat is $1650 apiece, a good deal here. 😬 Can’t wait to get them. I love the slope arms, the depth, the washable slipcovers. There is a third party vendor, Bemz, who makes high end, affordable slipcovers for them too, in linen and velvet.

[@nikkiep23]

Kristen great video as always. I will say that I've never really been a big fan of ikea but after watching your videos, I have purchased a few decor and outdoor pieces. I actually have a similiar linen blend sofa like that that I purchased on sale from American Signature furniture. This higher end IKEA line is nice. I did actually purchase two brand new billy bookcases this weekend from the thrift store for $15 each. I'm using them for my shoes and handbags. My fave pieces were the jute rug and mirror.

[@makulewahine]

I love the oval mirror.

Do you know how it's hung? I know a lot of Target mirrors just have 1 hook to hang from, I'm scared if the Lindbyn needs 2
